Nothing takes me back down HBCU memory lane like taking a trip down to my alma mater (Awww HU!) for Homecoming.
Well, the founders of HBCU SpringComing didn’t want us to have to wait until Fall to feel those nostalgic good vibes.
Catch the photo diary recap by clicking “More Werk”.
The founders and I began our journey together by running around doing last minute errands before the start of HBCU SpringComing on Thursday morning. With the help of the cool features like the Apple Car Play, Enhanced Park Assist and the huge amount of trunk space with the foot activated lift gate from the Ford Escape, we were able to find co-founder George (yeah, we lost him for a second) and knock out everything on the to-do list before the festivities began.
Check out the video(s) here and here.

| I must have been thinking about how much fun ‘The Yard’ was going to be even in the rain. One thing that you must know about HBCU graduates, we are resilient and persistent. We don’t let too much of anything (like rain) get in the way of our goals (like having a good time at ‘The Yard’) |

| The entire weekend was really all about scholarship! Three scholarships were awarded to deserving students totaling over $9000. |

| After the party it’s the after party better known as ‘The Kickback”. We took the lituation inside and almost shut the Harlem block party down. Spring has sprung and we were ready for the turn up! |
 On Sunday, the weather gods bestowed upon us the perfect weather to end HBCU SpringComing with a bang! |
